other details:	The Fortus 400MC is used for certain engineering applications (high precision printing, certain unusual materials). North Forge supplies the material and members pay for what is used. Currently, only two of the four material bays are functional. One is used for printing material, the other is used for support material. Note that changing materials is a long and involved process - you must change the tips, wait several hours for the system to stabilize at the correct temperature, then perform a calibration procedure. Build plates are considered a consumable and cannot be reused. To extend the life of the build plate, keep parts towards the edges and corners of the build plate. To avoid head collisions during wiping, start nesting parts at the top-left of the build plate then continue down and to the right. Be careful when printing odd materials - some materials (like ULTEM) require a special build plate to ensure proper adhesion.
